Connecting Compatible IEEE 1394 Devices, continued
Connection StyJes
There are two different connection sues that can be
used when connecting IEEE 1394 devices. Use the
sue that fits your network of audio/video products.
Direct Device-TooDevice StyJe
The IEEE 1394 offers you the capabiiity to chain
devices, uniike previous audio and video connections
where you had to individually connect each device
directly to the HDTV receiver/controller. For exampb,
you can connect a D-VHS to a 1394 DVD Hayer
and then to the HD-6000. The resuiflng IEEE 1394
chain will allow you to add more devices to the
chain. You will be able to see each video device
on the HDTV receivers Device Selection Menu and
send information from any IEEE 1394 device to other
compatible devices.

Hub Connection StyJe
The IEEE 1394 also offers you the capability to
connect your devices using the HD-6000 as a hub
within the audio/video network. Each device can
send information, which may include audio and video,
to any other device in the network.

4oPin Styme vs. 6-Pin Styme Connectors
There are two different types of connectors used for
IEEE 1394 terminals and cables, a 4-pin and a 6-pin
style.
4 pin connector
The 4-pin connector sends
digital audio signals, digital video
signals and digital control signals
back and forth between devices.
Your HDTV receiver has three
4-pin type connection jacks
available on the back panel.
The 6-pin connector is capable
..... , of sending the same digital audio,
video and control signals as the
4-pin connector, but the 6-pin
connector is also able to send
low voltage electrical power. This
6 pin connector HDTV receiver does not have 6
pin connectors.
The purpose of this low voltage electrical power is
to provide the needed operating power to a device
that is not connected directly to the household AC
power such as a camcorder. A device with a 6-pin
connector can send this electrical power to another
device, or receive electrical power from another
device, or simply use a 6-pin connector without using
the two additional pins.
6 pin to 4 pin adaptor
A 6-pin connector cannot
be connected directly to a
4-pin jack, and vice versa. To
connect a 6-pin device to a
4-pin device, you wiii need to
obtain a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor
or adaptor cable. These cables
are available from electronic
and computer stores.
When connecting a 6-pin device (such as a
camcorder) to the HDTV, (if it is designed to receive
electrical power from another 6-pin device) you
will need to connect the camcorder directly to the
household AC, or use the camcorder's battery for
power. If this is not possible, then the camcorder wiii
need to be connected directly to another 6-pin device
in the network that can provide the electrical power.
